I disagree (with the first part). I think that too many people rush to judgement of others based solely on their own limited perspective. A person might judge a couple that is engaged in a small argument as having a troubled marriage. In reality, the couple may very well have a very stable, healthy marriage. It is normal to have disagreements and it is healthy to discuss them. And it is healthy to occassionally let one's emotions get the best of them. (Definitely not even thinking that was the case of the OP; just using this as a random example to support my argument.)
Also, I think that people have a propensity to judge others when in reality it is just their own, often dis-owned, issues that are coming to light. If somebody is often seeing others as loud mouths, the probability is fair that the individual making those accusations is her/himself a blow-hard.
One of the largest issues I have with many organized religions is their self-view of the world. They often believe that their way is the ONLY way (often ultimately having nothing to do with spirituality, which is what religion is all about), and that all others must be quelled.
